Microglia Modulation with 1070-nm Light Attenuates Aβ Burden and Cognitive Impairment in Alzheimer’s Disease Mouse Model

Researchers demonstrated that cognitive and memory impairment in an Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mouse model can be ameliorated by 1070-nm light via reducing cerebral β-amyloid (Aβ) burden, the hallmark of AD. The glial cells, including microglia and astrocytes, played important roles in Aβ clearance.
